How to pass plus(+) sign to a SMS body from URI on android












0















For opening default SMS app on android with pre populated body field you must use this syntax:



<a href="sms:+0000000000?body=hello">Send hello</a>


It works. For iOS you need to replace ? symbol with &



But how to pre populate body with content that have plus(+) sign inside? It looks like bug on android.



Examples below not working:



Attempt #1 - simple



<a href="sms:+0000000000?body=2+2">Send math</a>


Attempt #2 - encoded with %2B



<a href="sms:+0000000000?body=2%2B2">Send math encoded</a> 


How to escape plus sign on Android?



This seems to be an android problem, because this code on iOS works fine:



<a href="sms:+0000000000&body=2+2">Send math</a>
